The Call Girl - Season 1 - Episode 71

No, wait, Salim had it.
He eyes the phone.

They can’t prove anything, not until they find real evidence. He needs to leave here, he needs to make some calls, it doesn’t matter how much he has to spend tonight, they need to dig and find out how the fxking hell Steve was able to find things about him no one was able to do for years.

Once he finds more things that can be used against him, he would destroy all of it, then, he would find away and get that phone and do justice to it.

He would be free and they would have nothing on him, nothing at all.

He smiles
”We got eyes on you Jimmy” Salim says working away ”Let me know if a makes a fxxking fart wrongly” he says to the officer over his shoulders and exits.

The officer stares at Jimmy
”Get the fxxk out of my face, i need to breath”

He doesn’t smile, he steps away and then watches him keenly. Jimmy isn’t pleased, he isn’t.

Today everything had gone to sheet, even..
He stares around to realise that even Chena and the others who were backing him had left him.

He was going to kill them all, all of them.
He sees her when he walks towards him, eyeing the officer.

She comes closer to him, her voice lowered ”Jimmy, if he talks, we..we..” she began ”I don’t want to go to Jail,Jaime will hate me..my father..even my mother”
He grabs her and shakes her, ”Get your head out of your a-s, i don’t care s--t for you, i am all about me now, so fxxk off” he pushes her away before the officer could stop him, he storms away
”Are you okay Ma’am?’

Shaken, she shakes her head and then makes her way out.

The officer realizing his mistake chases after Jimmy.

But he was long gone.
”Fxxk!” he mutters dailing
”Sir, i lost him”
*
”Then don’t come back till you do”
Salim cuts the call and then stares at the Mayor.

They are in the hospital, Jaime is pacing the length of the room, Adam is watching him, worried.

Gem goes to him, he shakes his head ”No mother, i…” he continues to pace the room.
”There is a sea of reporters outside Sir” Salim states

”Get them out of here , ” Jaime screams coming towards Salim
Adam stands up blocking him ”Hey, relax”
”Relax? ” He nudges him away and then grabs Salim, ”Correct me if i am wrong but didn’t you investigate everyone after that event, hmm?”

”Jaime,let him go!!” Jacob touches his arm ”Son”

”No father, he needs to answer me. ” Jaime’s eyes is bloodshot, he shakes him.
”Jaime..” Salim began

”Answer me dammit. If you had done your job thoroughly you would have realized that you had the attacker all along. But you let him slip through your hands and now….” Jaime lifts him up

”Let him go son” Jacob pleads
”Answer me damnit! How come you let him slip under your fingers, why were you not doing your job properly hmmm?” he repeats.
”Boss, relax man!” Adam places his hands on his shoulders

Salim knew he was angry, and possibly worried, he didn’t blame him. And he was right, maybe there missed something, they didn’t see it, they didn’t realize. He wasn’t the one who interrogated him himself but he had put a man to it. Possibly he should have done a thorough job. The man had not given any red lights, nothing.
He was at fault, infact the entire police was at fault, they were expected to save lives, do all they can to smell danger, and…damnit.. They were supposed to whisk everyone who came through those doors, how come they missed him and didn’t realize that he had a gun in the premises. They have failed, Jaime was right..and a life might be lost today.

”I am sorry..i” He repeats at lose of what to say to abate Jaime’s anger.
”You better pray she lives Salim, you better pray she survives it”

”Jaime” his mother comes to him, placing her hand on his ”Let him go son, this won’t make any difference, we just have to pray for a miracle, let him go”

Jaime closes his eyes and then leaves him, he turns around walking away, his mother followed him.

Adam steps away.

Salim adjusts himself.
”How could you let this happen Salim, you are supposed to be at the top of things” Jacob’s voice was hard
”I don’t know how we missed it Sir, its..” he sighs staring at Jaime ”’I am sorry Sir”
Jacob nods ”I am just glad that he wasn’t shot, but there is a girl fighting for her life in there”

”A girl he obviously cares about” Salim observes looking away
”It appears so” He turns to Salim ”Is he arrested?”

He nods ”Going to be kept under lock and key, with guards, no visitors nothing.”

”Good, for his crimes, make sure he serves live. If she dies, he is getting the death penalty”

”He is going nowhere Sir”
”He better not. I cannot believe a man can be so tactfully evil, he attacked her, thought she was dead, and then came at her again in the open? Men like that don’t deserve to live. If my son had been shot, he wouldn’t have survived a moment long..” Jacob says running a hand though his hair.
”I am so sorry Sir” Salim repeats.

”Jimmy…” He looks at Salim, his eyes sad, tears fills his eyes ” All that Jaime said, do you..do you think he was right? That it was the truth, that Jimmy, my son…my first son did all that he said he did, that that deceased cop found out as evidence, Steve?”
Salim sighs watching the pain in his eyes ”Maybe, these are evidence, but we need to check it out” Salim taps the phone Jaime had given him.

”I know he hates me, have always hated me, and maybe never had much love for his brother but I would never ever think he would do any of those things…and..oh God” he covers his face with his hands ”Those were children and-”

Salim places his hands on his shoulders ”Take it easy Sir, I know this is painful to hear let alone to bear”
”He is my son, no matter how horrible he had been to me, I never loved him less, I still gave him all he wanted..maybe he needed something more..that which I cannot ever do”

‘Which is?”
”His brother’s place.”
Salim nods , Jacob continued ”Jimmy made his choice, he went the wrong way, and for a long time I had to live with the pain of losing my son though he was alive. He was the one who didn’t want my name, my recognition and even made sure I never addressed him as son. He made the papers and had me sign them years ago even before I became me…On paper he isn’t my son, but blood he is. Maybe, he never would have guessed I would rise up to be who I am now..and when he came back..seeking all, it was never possible. I had a family who loved me, and a son who adored me..but I never loved him less Salim..i never did. But Jimmy, wanted all..things I could never give him..how do you save a boy who was lost since from day one? I tried Salim, I did, but Jimmy..” he trails off wiping his eyes ”He had a good life when I could provide and was able to do so permanently, but he..he choose his part, he left me , his father..who would have given an arm for him…do I throw Jaime under a bus now because the son wants in, albeit wrongly and evilly? No, Jaime Is my son, and I love that boy. He gave me life, a reason to go on and showed me that I can be a better father. I am a better man because of him. Because of him, Gem had a reason to hang on to life after we lost out child in that car crash… a crash Jaime says Jimmy caused” his eyes tears up…”how can a son be so evil Salim, how?” he cries
Salim shakes his head ”’Take it easy Sir”
Jacob sniffs

”So you second Jaime’s decision to investigate?” Salim wanted to confirm if he should go ahead

Jacob nods ”If my son had done all those things mentioned and if you can prove it, he would be persecuted. I have a duty to this city Jacob, to the people I care about…if anyone brings them harm, they would face the law”
”And ..” Salim stares at him treading carefully ”If Jimmy was Jaime, would he face the law too?”

Jacob looks at him ”I love my sons, but if one would lift a hand to cause harm to another for no reason, bury children alive and let them die, smuggling girls off for prostitution and bring down communities just for greed and money..you will face the law. We may not be gods or angels, but I believe our duty to humanity is to protect one another, and I will protect those who cannot defend themselves. I am not biased about my son Jimmy, I have loved him as much as I can, times and times again I have reached out to help, to want him to change, to come home, but h had done everything to ensure he doesn’t, he has done everything to ensure he doesn’t change, everything to hurt me…will it be under he kills me? No, I have a wife to care for, a son to love, a city to carter to..i would do my humanity service..and I would rid the earth of scum, that man, is one of them for attacking an innocent girl and Jimmy would face he law for his crimes, and if he had much as locked her in that storeroom and then because of that got attacked, he would face the law too, and when he does serve his time and is ready to reform, I will stand outside that gate with open arms and welcome my son. I will forgive him and I am sure his family would too. But you do not correct a child by spoiling him, you correct a child by punishing him for his sins so he understands the dimension of what he has done. ”

”Yes sir”
”Now get those reporters away from here” Jacob turns away ”My son doesn’t want them in his face and I am sure he doesn’t want them in hers”

”Yes Sir”
